“She was great for years,” said Gelin. “She’s been around this courthouse for decades, everybody loves her, but the problem is it seem, as often is the case with this diseases is that it can come back with triggers.”

This is not the first time we’ve seen a Broward Judge accused of drunk driving.

Judge Cynthia Imperato was stopped in Boca Raton on drug driving allegations. She was removed from her criminal court and placed in civil court. Now the question — what happens next for Judge Pollack. “Really the question now is what to do about it,” asked Gelin. “We’re all hoping the chief judge takes a strong stand, finally, because he did put her back on the bench very quickly in january after the first incident.”

“From what I understand you’ve been in rehab before?” Scouten said to the person who spoke from behind the door at Pollack’s home. “Do you have plans on going back?” he asked. “No comment,” was the response.

Broward’s chief judge said Pollack will remain suspended from judicial duties until further notice. The Judicial Qualifications Commission is reviewing the case.
